In February, we brought you a “first look” at the Midnight Design Solutions Phaser
transceiver, written by its designers, who explained the process that went into its

explore radio concepts, seek new contacts, and boldly go where digital modes
can take you!

The new HG3 stepper tuned Mag Loop
Antenna (MLA) sets a new standard delivering
unprecedented capability in remote tuning,
performance and convenience for an MLA. It
employs a proven, accurate and repeatable
stepper motor design. Band selection, remote
tuning, including optional loop rotation, is
controlled via a microcontroller driving a high
resolution stepper motor.
A built-in digital SWR bridge provides auto-
tuning based on an SWR scan. This ensures
compatibility with most radios. Manual tuning
uses a convenient rotary encoder knob - no
more finicky push buttons. The four-line LCD
displays band selected, SWR, ERP, Cap value
and more. The bottom line - count on top-
notch RX and TX performance!

 

STEPPER MOTOR ACCURACY

CONVENIENT REMOTE TUNING

DISPLAYS BAND, SWR, ERP & MORE

QUICK BAND SELECTION

AUTO-TUNING BASED ON SWR

80m - 10m COVERAGE AVAILABLE

NO COMPROMISE SPOT-ON TUNING

MAX POWER: 100 W PEP*
A precise LC match at the
desired frequency ensures
spot-on tuning (red SWR,
blue RL, green Z) and
minimizes mismatch losses
within the MLA's specified
frequency range.
